Hello

I am looking for a list of IP commands for the Dune hd (tv 101, but I believe this would be the same for all Dune HD models).
So far I have found from Dune an official document that lists a few commands:
[Link: dune-hd.com]
but this seems incomplete to me. Also not very clear as to how to adapt it to my environment (what I should replace: cgi-bin/do???)

I have also found Barry Gordon's site where he mentions he has all the Dune IP control files,but they seem to be in a Pronto Pro format, which I'm not sure I want to dig into (I am familiar with Pronto, but not Pronto Pro)

So any suggestion on this popular player?

Thanks

one small precision. After reading carefully the document I got from dune-hd.com, this seems clearly for a more advanced purpose than what I want. My initial intent is simply to replace the IR remote with IP commands, not create a very elaborate IP remote wih status feeback. In the document they only talk about the more advancedfeatures, not the basic ones!

Thanks

Sending IR commands to the Dune player is fairly simple If you know how to implement http protocol and send an http GET over TCP. As an example here are the IR power commands as http Get commands:

Power On : GET /cgi-bin/do?cmd=ir_code&ir_code=A05FBF00
Power Off: GET /cgi-bin/do?cmd=ir_code&ir_code=A15EBF00
Power tgl: GET /cgi-bin/do?cmd=ir_code&ir_code=BC43BF00

If you compare this to the Dune published IR codes it should be obvious.

As a pure http command from a browser (for testing) the following will probably work (e.g Power tgl)

Contact me at my email address (see my profile) if you need more help

I recently programmed this for a client with full http control including discrete power using an RTI system with an unsupported http transmit driver. I have every command in a file and will send it to you tonight when I get in as long as you promise to send me an email to remind me.

Update: Here are the codes below. Just change the IP address to the appropriate address of the Dune player and the xxx:// to http://

Could you tell me which driver you are using? i don't seem to be able to get this to work using a two way driver i have (only using the transmit part)

I have the correct IP and set Port to 80, and i know IP works as i can control the Dune with my ipad, so has to be an RTI issue somewhere....

The real power of the Dune IP protocol comes about when you deal with a NAS and the Dune. You can just give the Dune an IP command to initiate a stream from any accessible SMB based NAS file and play the movie perfectly. It is how my Theater is designed. All movies are stored as MKV containers and the librarian allows the user to select a film and start it streaming by effectively sending the dune the proper IP command containing the full path to the desired file..

The overall look and feel is that of a Kelaidescape system at a fraction of the cost

Hello Barry

Could elaborate on this, as it is my case Dune TV 101 + NAS. What is achieved by using IP control with the Dune and a NAS (sorry not familiar with Kelaidescape).
Sounds interesting.

Thanks

Olivier

I use the Dune setup option known as "Blank (or Black) screen. This means that the Dune navigation screens never come up. My Theater is controlled by a PC that is in turn controlled over WiFi/LAN from a Pronto PRO or an iPad; normally the Pronto PRO. The pronto PRO, like the iPad using Command Fusion software, has a full Javascript engine so you can do just about anything you want through Javascript programming.

All my movies are ripped to MKV containers and I control the rip such that only the main movie is ripped with no dire warnings, or previews. I also only rip the best (highest quality) audio track and turn all subtitles except forced English off.

The MKV file is stored in a folder on the NAS named with the title of the movie. This folder also holds cover art, fan art, chapter info and a trailer avi if available. I have special software that builds all the folders for all the movies I own (DVD and BR). I use DVDprofiler to maintain my library and as the primary source for all info about the movie, and the cover art. I wish they would add a fan-art feature. I get the fan-art from the TMDB (www.themoviedb.com) data base and just change its opacity to be washed out as a background.

When I direct the PC to start the librarian (I want to watch a movie, TV show, or concert) the PC places on the theaters main screen my Librarian's output. There are several views the librarian supplies (24x2 title listing, Cover Collage, or Info) I generally use "Info" which is similar to what Kelaidescape provides. This shows a fan art background, with a scrollable title list (24 titles) on the left, all the info about the movie, the Cover art and the option to play the trailer if there is one. All info changes as you scroll the title list. The display may be sorted by title or release date, filtered by Genre, or type of presentation (TV Episodes, Concerts, movies)

When I hit play on my remote the PC sends to the Dune (which was powered on as soon as the librarian started) the Full Path Name to the selected movie, TV episode or Concert using IP and switches the AV processor to take the Dune as the input to the main screen.

The Dune's little clock hands icon appear on the top left of the black screen indicating the Dune is setting up to play the movie. If more than one audio track is available the first one is picked and the Dune places a banner on the screen indicating what Audio codec is being used (e.g. True-HD). The entire process for a Blu-Ray disk takes 7 seconds from the time I say "Play" to the movie actually starting. DVD's start in about half that time. If I stop the movie the librarian is restored. I have not implemented a "start where left off" and could easily do so as the current time code info is available from the Dune. I do have the ability to move to any "Chapter" Position as I have chapter files in the movies folder on the NAS.

Lastly the NAS is a Lime Technologies "unRaid" unit that I built. It has 12 available drive slots in a 4U rack mount so it's maximum capacity is 33 TB with 3 TB for parity (it is raid 5 with parity not striped across all drives, but contained only on one). It is ultra reliable running a version of Unix and has a large following and excellent forum. The NAS is completely controlled housekeeping wise using a Browser, and all folders may be organized into "Shares" and exposed on the LAN. My shares are movies, concerts, TV shows. The NAS will manage the loading of the disks using one of several algorithms, or you can direct where a folder is to be placed.

Hope the above helps. Probably more than you wanted. If not email me more questions.

Barry,

I understand the black screen part, is there a command to send the dune after it boots to launch MY Movies folder from my home screen? Are you at all familiar with MM?

I know I can make a cheesy macro to DOWN arrow, then RIGHT arrow, then ENTER. But maybe I can just tell the dune to launch the MM folder which launches the index. Do you have any suggestions for IP for this?

I am using Crestron BTW.

Thank you!

Jon

Sorry I have not been keeping up with the Dune IP capabilities as I use it strictly as a video playing appliance.

I am not at all familiar with MyMovies. I played with it a long time ago, but it has advanced quite a bit. I am assuming you are talking about the Dune Home screen. and a folder you have set up on the Dune. Sounds interesting. I guess you would want the Dune to just come up to that folder when it boots up so that it presents you with the MyMovies capability from the start.

I would suggest that you drop a line to the Dune people. they were generally open to suggestions which enhances their product as that one would

How would these codes look if I would like to send them with an MX-5000 from URC? Can URC handle a code like this:

POWER:
xxxx://192.168.1.101/cgi-bin/do?cmd=ir_code&ir_code=BC43BF00

(xxx replaced for http)

Great job!
Thanks a lot!
You saved my time :)

Hi
I need code for new version Dune HD.
There is TV button.
Do someone know it?

Thanks

is there anybody at all that can tell me if I can turn my dune HD media box on without remote through internet please thank you [email protected] is my email
